That Ballon d'Or Episode: Harry Kane for a knighthood, is Carrick in trouble & Sids v KSI? I EP. 430

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sids are back to discuss Harry Kane's historic Ballon d'Or victory, the mounting pressure on Michael Carrick at Manchester United, and some surprising rumours surrounding Crouchy's potential involvement in buying a football club. Pete finally addresses speculation about his involvement in a football club takeover, revealing that he had been part of a consortium looking to invest in a club before the deal ultimately fell through. Naturally, Chris and Sids aren't letting him off lightly, as they interrogate Pete about his business ambitions, Abbey's potential involvement, and whether there's more to the story than he's letting on. The lads also turn their attention to Manchester United, where Michael Carrick finds himself under increasing pressure following another difficult run of results. Pete and Sids defend their former teammate, question the behaviour of certain players, and debate whether the problems at Old Trafford run much deeper than whoever happens to be sitting in the manager's chair. There's also a huge moment for English football as Harry Kane is crowned the world's best player after winning the Ballon d'Or. Pete reflects on Kane's incredible journey from Tottenham youngster to global superstar, reveals how his family celebrated the victory, and shares details of a memorable FaceTime call with Harry after the ceremony. Of course, Crouchy also finds a way to take some of the credit for Kane's success. Elsewhere, the boys tackle one of football's great moral dilemmas after a listener admits to watching Liverpool while his wife recovered from giving birth. This sparks a heated debate about football in the delivery room, questionable birthing playlists, and whether there's ever an appropriate time to play Salt-N-Pepa's 'Push It'. The lads also look back at another unpredictable weekend in the Premier League, with Spurs beating Chelsea, Aston Villa overcoming Manchester City, and Liverpool getting the better of Brighton. Attention then turns to the upcoming fixtures, including Liverpool against Arsenal and Chelsea against Manchester United, as the boys make their latest predictions. And as always, there's plenty of classic TPCP nonsense along the way. Pete manages to upset Chris by admitting he wasn't listening to him, the boys offer some questionable encouragement for a listener's football-filled lads' weekend, and a rather outrageous listener's XI brings the episode to a fitting conclusion. As always, leave your comments below and let us know whether you'd watch football in the delivery room, what you make of Michael Carrick's situation, and which football club you'd like to see Crouchy buy. Chumbawamba!
